I have just bought an old motorcycle for restoration It has a gough saddle which is in good condition but very dry. Some of the stitching round the edge has worn away so I have removed the top piece and wanted to know if theres anything to restore some suppleness to the piece ( I wish to retain the ner a car embossing) Thanks in anticipation Ian

Thanks for that DJ What thread is that you were using? Ian I must say I'm very pleased with my machine and have got lots of help from this forum so far

Gentlemen Thanks for your replies But I'm sure its not a Pfaff.Remember i bought it from a dealer who has been in business for 25years plus and had a workshop full of machines.. I'm sure if it was a Pfaff he would have known and sold it as such ( and at a Pfaff price) I did find a Pfaff 335 for sale on ebay last night and whilst there is a similarity in layout it looks like there is not a casting thats exactly the same. Also the stitch length adjust reverse lever is in the opposite way round to mine Apart from the bobbin cover which is marked Pfaff ( which I think is a replacement) theres no marks on any other parts...It just doesnt look german made...And I have spent my life working on german machines in the printing trade. Pfaff 335 on ebay My machine Many Thanks Ian

Well I'm sure its a clone/copy of a 335 but wouldnt pfaff have put their name on it more prominately? Has anyone any pictures of a pfaff machine? Ian

I've been a lurker on the forum for a month or so but recently bought a new(to me) used machine in the UK ( from a dealer) I just bought the head and I've made a table and drive system that enables me to be able to sew at 1 stitch per 2 seconds or up to 200 per minute set on a dial so the foot switch just starts and stops at the preset speed. Its a needle drive /walking foot machine and seems happy to stitch 2 pieces of 4mm leather together. It uses 135-35 needles. I've had it sewing on 20s thread and 40s both bonded nylon. It was labeled MECCA SEW and its model number is MS 335-17 AFTFC The cover over the bobbin is marked Pfaff inside but thats probably a red herring I've searched the net for anything about Mecca sew machines but found nothing Does anyone know who made this machine? This is from the rear of it And the bobbin needle area Many Thanks Ian
